Don’t make your pet run the gauntlet

Our morning walks are usually fairly quiet. This morning there was a lot more activity (I assume because of the government shut down)

As Matt-Matt and I were finishing up our walk and getting close to home, one of our neighbors was weed whacking his side walk. We could have crossed the street, but the nieghbor on the other side of the street was revving his motorcycle.

It wasn’t very hot outside but it was too hot to walk an extra mile to get to our house through a different route. I had plenty of time to get to work, so I didn’t need to drag Matt-Matt through all the scary noises.

I could have used Pattern Games, but instead we found a shady spot about 100 feet away and we just waited for one of the neighbors to get finished. Then we headed home. Scary situation avoided.
